Masculine Gift Card Holder

This idea has been done to death but it's still my favourite style of gift card holder...I have made this for a bloke no no bling or flowers eeekk!! I used Contempory Christmas and After Thoughts (level one hostess set) and stuck with a simple colour scheme of Very Vanilla and Bravo Burgundy....all I have to do now is save up for the gift card!!

Wallet Gift Card Holders

Yesterday I amused myself no end creating some gilft card holders. This was my first effort modelled on my own wallet. I used an embossing folder from "that other company", then covered it in versamark and clear embossed it....came up exactly like my cheapo vinyl fake gucci

wallet. For this one I have used Basic Black and Kiwi Kiss..the bling  is a cake decoration.

This is the inside..there is some room for a gift card and a bit of cash if you are feeling extra generous

And this is my blokey one done in the same way. I didn't bother with a template, I just copied the measurements of my husbands wallet. There are various pockets for cash and cards and even a place to put a photo..I have made this for my daughter to give to her boyfriend for his 18th birthday. I think they look pretty swish, I cant wait to make some more!

Bugs and kisses!

I needed to make a gift card holder for a little boy..eeeek!!! I don't do boys!!!! However the Bugs and Kisses set (115912) made it a little easier..I think the grasshopper is my favourite bug...no wait ..the ant..hmm there is also a sweet little lady bug in this set too...ok I like them all!

I also had to make a birthday card for someone, so I got to play with Pun Fun again (115854)...so much you can do with this set..every single stamp is soooo cute...but the hippo is definately my fave (or maybe the bird?). The sentiment is from the Whimsical Words which is one of the free Sale a Bration sets you can earn by hosting a workshop with $600.00 in sales or by purchasing $100 worth of goodies...I have the other three sets coming my way, I can't wait to have a play with them.

I am off to bed to listen to the wonderful sound of rain...it has cooled things down a bit thank heavens, I thought I was going to melt today.

That's all folks!

Punch Art Gift Card Holders

I have just finished making the last of my gift card holders for Christmas..yippee!! I came across some lovely punch art as I was browsing the internet and did actually write down the names of the people I cased...however an accident with a camera cord (as in it brushed against my leg, I thought it was a creepy crawly and freaked out and jumped up knocking a cup of coffee all over my notes)...so as soon as I find out more details I will give credit ..  I only remember that this cute snowman was designed by a lady who lives on the sunshine coast in Queensland..She is so clever it's the nicest snowman I have seen...if anyone knows her name please let me know. This one is for my daughter Haley

footnote...I found the name..its Rochelle Hopkinson..I have no idea how to do a link, sorry (Computer stuff is NOT my forte)

I do remember who designed this cute little penguin as it was my upline Angie Brown and she would kill me if I forgot lol..this is for my daughter Jodie

I made this for my mother -in - law as the big open mouth looked familiar (only kidding Lizzie..yikes!) It was designed by Jackie Topa...such a clever lady...I didn't have all the punches I needed for this one so my handcut ovals look a bit naff!

I has so much fun doing all that punch art I decided..buggar it!! I am going to have a go at making one myself...so I came up with this xmas fairy/ angel based on the design of the wrapping paper in which I wrapped my grand daughters Xmas presents..I tried to make a halo but it looked blah! so I just put a bling flower in her hair. All Stampin' Up! punches-scallop circle for the dress, word window for legs shoes and arms, butterfly punch for wings, 1 inch circle for head and hair and a smaller one for her bun...This one will go to my daughter Ebony. And now the fun is over because my house looks like a cyclone has passed through so me thinks I need to clean!
